Gen. John Allen, shown in this file photo, left, is under investigation for alleged "inappropriate communications" with Jill Kelley, right. (AP Photos) President Obama is backing Gen. John Allen, the commander of American forces in Afghanistan and the second top military official whose behavior with a woman has come under investigation in recent weeks. Allen, a four-star Marine general, is being investigated by the Pentagon's inspector general for "potentially inappropriate" emails with Florida socialite Jill Kelley. The probe into Allen emerged from an FBI investigation into former CIA Director David Petraeus -- Allen's predecessor in Afghanistan -- who resigned and admitted having an extramarital affair. Petraeus' alleged mistress has been identified as the author of his biography Paula Broadwell. While Obama accepted Petraeus' resignation last week, the president continues to have "faith" in Allen, White House Press Secretary Jay Carney said today.

Key:

  • Aggregate Sentiment is meant to be an indicator of an individual's overall sentiment.
  • The Mean is meant to be an indicator of an individual's average comment sentiment.
  • The Standard Deviation, when there are enough quotes, will indicate an individual's consistency of sentiment (i.e. a Standard Deviation of 0 would mean they were very consistent in their sentiment and 1 would mean they were very inconsistent).

Note that quote stats are likely to be meaningless beyond the aggregate score due to the tiny sample size. However, they are always provided just in case you find something useful there.
